security flaw

net/ipv4/netfilter/ipconntrackcore.c in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6, and possibly net/ipv4/netfilter/nfconntrackl3protoipv4.c in 2.6, does not clear sockaddrin.sinzero before returning IPv4 socket names from the getsockopt function with SOORIGINALDST, which allows local users to obtain portions of...

security flaw

The IPv6 flow label handling code ip6flowlabel.c in Linux kernels 2.4 up to 2.4.32 and 2.6 before 2.6.14 modifies the wrong variable in certain circumstances, which allows local users to corrupt kernel memory or cause a denial of service crash by triggering a free of non-allocated memory...
